The Clockmakers’ Company is an active City of London craft guild or “ Livery Company”. It was founded under a Royal Charter of King Charles I in 1631. Its original purpose was to regulate and encourage the “art and mystery” of watch and clock making together with many related skills, such as engraving, sundial making and mathematical instrument making. Its powers were generally restricted to the City, but in some areas extended to the whole of England and Wales. The Company took particular interest in quality control, training (through apprenticeships) and the welfare of its members. | The Clockmakers’ Company is an active City of London craft guild or “ Livery Company”.
